On November 20, 2006, the Board of Directors of IBT Bancorp, Inc. voted to amend Article III, Section 6, of IBT's Bylaws, effective immediately. Currently, Article III, Section 6 requires a director to retire from the Corporation's Board of Directors at the end of the month during which he or she attains age 70. Pursuant to the amendment, a director who attains age 70 during 2007 would remain on the Board until January 1, 2008. Given that certain branding initiatives will be undertaken by the Corporation during 2007, the amendment will enable the Corporation to retain the services of certain long-term directors during this process.
